    I agree that the networking benefits of staffing agencies can be very useful in your recruiting processes. It could be difficult to track down qualified candidates, especially if you are seeking university level candidates but you are not located near a prestigious university. Using a staffing agency could be a great way to expand your network with out putting in the time necessary to do that on your own.

    You make a good point that staffing agencies can provide and certain training for those they hire out. This is especially important with IT support, I think, since technology is always rapidly improving and changing. It’s important that you have up to date staff that can provide any of your clients or customers with the support they need that is most applicable in the current age we live in with information technology.
